A Columbus sports talk-show host who was suspended after he tweeted he wished ESPN’s Desmond Howard would get fired or die has been fired.

WBNS-FM (97.1) posted a message on Twitter yesterday which read, “Scott Torgerson is no longer employed by our company as of today. We appreciate his contributions and wish him well in his future endeavors."

Torgerson tweeted 11 days ago that he wished Howard, who played for Michigan, would get fired or die so Torgerson could again watch ESPN’s College GameDay. Torgerson was suspended last week.
